4.1 Unpacking and Checking

Check the equipment for completeness using the delivery note and the accessorylists for the various items. Check the R&S NRX for any damage. If there is dam-age, immediately contact the carrier who delivered the R&S NRX. Make sure notto discard the box and packing material.

Packing materialRetain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transpor-ted or shipped later, you can use the material to protect the control ele-ments and connectors.

4.1.1 Accessory List

The R&S NRX comes with the following accessories: Printed getting started manual Multilingual safety brochure Additive data sheet ref. China ROHS Country-specific power cable

10Getting Started 1424.7070.02 06

4.2 Operating Conditions

Specific operating conditions are required to ensure accurate measurements andto avoid damage to the R&S NRX and connected devices. Before switching onthe R&S NRX, observe the information on appropriate operating conditions provi-ded in the basic safety instructions and the data sheet of the R&S NRX.

In particular, ensure the following: The R&S NRX is dry and shows no sign of condensation. The ambient temperature does not exceed the range specified in the data

sheet. Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges. Signal outputs are connected correctly and are not overloaded.

4.3 Important Aspects for Test Setup

Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect aDUT or test fixture to the instrument's test ports.

NOTICE! Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge (ESD)can damage the electronic components of the R&S NRX and the device undertest (DUT).Ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage: Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to the ground. Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.

EMI impact on measurement results

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.

To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI): Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-shielded

RF and LAN cables. Always terminate open cable ends. Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.

Important Aspects for Test Setup

Preparing for UseR&S®NRX

11Getting Started 1424.7070.02 06

Do not use USB connecting cables exceeding 5 m.

4.4 Placing on a Bench Top

Place the R&S NRX on a stable and level surface. The R&S NRX can be used inhorizontal position, standing on its feet, or with the support feet on the bottomextended. Do not place anything on top of the R&S NRX, if the R&S NRX is not ina level position.

Risk of injury if feet are folded outThe feet can fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrumentis shifted. Collapsing feet can cause injury or damage the instrument. Fold the feet completely in or out to ensure stability of the instrument.

Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out. When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place

anything underneath. The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the fol-

ded-out feet must not exceed 500 N.

Preparing for UseR&S®NRX

12Getting Started 1424.7070.02 06

Risk of injury when stacking instrumentsA stack of instruments can tilt over and cause injury if not stacked correctly.Furthermore, the instruments at the bottom of the stack can be damageddue to the load imposed by the instruments on top.Observe the following instructions when stacking instruments: Never stack more than three instruments. If you need to stack more

than three instruments, install them in a rack. The overall load imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed

500 N. It is best if all instruments have the same dimensions (width and length).

If you need to stack smaller instruments on the top, the overall loadimposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed 250 N.

If the instruments have foldable feet, fold them in completely.

4.5 Mounting in a Rack

1. Order one of the rack adapter kits designed for the R&S NRX. For the ordernumber, see data sheet.

2. Follow the installation instructions provided with the adapter kit.

3. NOTICE! Insufficient airflow can cause overheating and damage the R&SNRX.

Develop and implement an efficient ventilation concept.

4.6 Connecting to the AC Power Supply

The R&S NRX can be used with different AC power voltages and adapts itselfautomatically to them. Adjusting the R&S NRX to a particular AC supply voltage istherefore not required. Refer to the data sheet for the requirements of voltage andfrequency.

The power switch can be set to two positions:

[0]: The instrument is disconnected from the mains. [I]: The instrument is power-supplied. It is either ready for operation

(STANDBY) or in operating mode.

1. Plug the AC power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel of theR&S NRX. Only use the power cable delivered with the R&S NRX.

2. Plug the AC power cable into a power outlet with ground contact. The R&SNRX complies with safety class EN61010-1.The required ratings are listed next to the AC connector and in the data sheet.

Further information: Chapter 5.2.5, "AC Supply and Power Switch", on page 24

4.7 Switching On or Off

The possible instrument states are described in Chapter 5.1.6, "On/Standby Key",on page 22.

To switch on the R&S NRX

1. To turn on the power, press the AC power switch at the rear to position [I](On).After power-up, the R&S NRX is in standby or ready state, depending on theposition of the on/standby key.

2. If the R&S NRX is in standby state, press the on/standby key.

The R&S NRX initiates its startup procedure. It boots the operating systemand starts the instrument firmware.If the previous session ended regularly, the R&S NRX uses the settings fromthe last session.

3. If you want to return to a defined initial state, perform a preset.

To switch off the R&S NRX

1. Press the on/standby key.The R&S NRX saves its current settings for reuse in the next session andchanges into the standby state.

2. To power down the R&S NRX completely, set the AC power switch to position[0] (Off).

Further information: Chapter 5.1.6, "On/Standby Key", on page 22

4.8 Connecting Power Sensors

Selecting the active pane. Selecting an element from a list. Moving the cursor in text boxes. Changing the value of an entry in a text box.

5.1.5 USB Host Interface

See (6) in Figure 5-1.

USB 2.0 (universal serial bus) interface of the type A (host USB). Used to con-nect: USB power sensors External devices like a keyboard, mouse, or memory stick

Further information: Chapter 4.8.4, "USB 2.0 Host Interfaces", on page 16 Chapter 4.9, "Connecting USB and External Devices", on page 17

5.1.6 On/Standby Key

See (7) in Figure 5-1.

The on/standby key toggles the R&S NRX between standby and ready state.

The following states are possible: Off (key is not illuminated)

The AC power switch on the back of the R&S NRX is switched off. The R&SNRX is disconnected from the AC power supply.

Ready (green)The R&S NRX is ready for operation.

Standby (red)

The Out 1 / Trig Out BNC connectors supply an analog signal with a voltagebetween 0 V and 2.5 V. It can be used to output a voltage that is proportional tothe measured value (e.g. for level regulation) or a digital signal for limit monitor-ing.

The Trig In / Out 2 BNC connectors can be used either as an external triggerinput with a switchable impedance (10 kΩ or 50 Ω) or as a second analog output.

By default, both connectors are disabled.

5.2.2 Ethernet Interface

See (2) in Figure 5-2.

The Ethernet connector is an RJ45 socket for remote controlling the R&S NRXvia a network.

5.2.3 USB Device Interface

See (3) in Figure 5-2.

USB 2.0 (universal serial bus) interface of the type B (receptacle). Used to con-nect the R&S NRX to a computer for USB remote control.

5.2.4 USB Host Interface

See (4) in Figure 5-2.

See Chapter 5.1.5, "USB Host Interface", on page 22.

5.2.5 AC Supply and Power Switch

See (5) in Figure 5-2.

When the R&S NRX is connected to the AC supply, it automatically sets itself tothe correct range for the applied voltage. The range is printed on the type label.There is no need to set the voltage manually.

For more details, see Chapter 4.6, "Connecting to the AC Power Supply",on page 13.

Requires GPIB/IEEE488 interface (R&S NRX-B8).

IEC bus (IEEE 488) interface for remote control of the R&S NRX. Used to con-nect a controller to remote control the R&S NRX. Use a shielded cable for theconnection.

Characteristics of the IEC bus (IEEE 488) interface: 8-bit parallel data transfer Bidirectional data transfer Three-wire handshake High data transfer rate Maximum length of connecting cables 15 m (single connection 2 m)

5.2.7 Sensor Connectors C and D

See (7) Figure 5-2.

Requires 3rd and 4th R&S NRP sensor connector (R&S NRX-B4).
